No, the old format didn\'t go away. This is just something special. If you want more bonus content like this, please join the Director\'s Club Patreon for only $5/month. You\'ll help support this show, Voices + Visions and the Now Playing Network. In the introduction, I establish a new monthly offering for those wanting more shorter content in the future in addition to the regular show. Hopefully there will be even more to come depending on guest availability / contributions. This is just a sample, posted in the regular feed for all of you to enjoy.

The gist of "Movies You Should See" is simply just that, in which a guest comes on to talk with me for under an hour about a title they\'re passionate about and that I\'ve been meaning to catch up with. Today\'s guest is none other than Bill Ackerman (also coming on later this month w/Patrick for Wong Kar-Wai). We analyze the many strengths of Tom Noonan\'s fascinating play adaptation, WHAT HAPPENED WAS, which is becoming a new favorite of mine the more I see it. It was fun not only to talk about the movie, but the characters\' unexpected interactions and how awkward & funny a first "date" can actually be. We hope enjoy this new form of bonus content and see you over on Patreon for more!
